TO TIE HOLDERS
OF
VIRGINIA COnSOIS and 1910 Bonds

We are authorized by the council of foreign
hondholders 10 call the attention of holders OF
V,rcioia consols and 10 4os to the fact that the
English bondholdcrs are cndeavOring, through the
instrumcntality of the council OF foreign bond
holders, to bring about satisfactory settlement OF
tho debt of Virginia.
With this object in view, the English bond,
holders have to large extent. agreed to poo!
their bonds and have authorized the council OF
foreign bondholdcrs 10 act for them in the nego-
tiations which are about to be had between a COM
mission sent out from London and committee ap-
pointed by the Legislature of Virginia
1t is most desirable that all holders of Virginia
bonds, both at home and abroad, should unite in
the effort to effect an early settlement of the
state debt To better accomplish this object the
council of foreign bondhoders earnestly request
the holders of Virginia bonds in America to CO.
operate with them and to forward to ourselves
their names and addresses, stating the amount OIL
bonds held, at as early day as possible
We will be glad to furnish COPIES Of tue Pnp

A Big Crowd Fooled.

An incident happened the other day that
melted a crowd in a hurry. A tall, quiet
man stood looking intently at a show window
on Broadway. Two other men paused and
looked in to see what the curious object was.
IN a few minutes four messenger BOYS unre-
luctantly drew up and concentrated their
gaze. In three minutes at least twenty men.
women, boys and Cinnamon were clustered
around the tall, quiet man, and trying to dis
cover the great curio that attracted his atten-
ton. He said nothing, never moved and in,
tently kept his eyes fixed on the show win
dow. Several policemen strolled by and
asked the crowd to arrange itself so that
people could get by on the sidewalk. Every
moment the numbers increased and they
soon stretched far up and down the street.
TIL proprietor of the store came out and
went back and asked for the clerks who ar
ranged the window, in order to find what
special attraction they had put in for the
public gaze that morning. A little newsboy
who edged lis way to the side of the tall,
quiet man, squinted his eyes at the window
and blurted out: II don't see nuthin.p But
the quiet man continued to gaze before him
unmoved.
"Hey, mister, what der yer seer queried
the bootblack, touching the coat of the quiet
man.
He turned and said: Nothing; l am blind;
l am waiting for my boy"
The newsboy gave n keen whistle and ran
away. The crowd separated, each ashamed

Then it began to dawn upon the re-

of another one of the lucky holders of a
